De minha experi�ncia com ambientes de computa��o, eu entendo que wingwall aqui deve ser para proteger ambientes sens�veis contra insola��o direta ou excesso de correntes de ar; ou algo similar.
A�, faz sentido arquitetura e eletr�nica.

Sorry Fl�vio Um pouco mais de contexto... Para a pr�xima vou tentar explicar-me melhor. :)

Wingwalls help ventilate rooms that have only one exterior wall which leads to poor cross ventilation. Wingwalls cause fluctuations in the natural wind direction to create moderate pressure differences across the windows. They are only effective on the windward side of the building.

Se voc� explica a rela��o facilita nossas sugest�es, pois nos permite entender o quala rela��o entre arquitetura e o assunto principal.

Tania: Quando eu pe�o contexto quero referir-me a este tipo de situa��o, onde voc� colocou que a pergunta refere-se a eletr�nica/engenharia el�trica, mas trata-se de um elemento de arquitetura. O que um termo de arquitetura tem a ver com seu assunto.
